Wes Moore told CBS News immigration is an issue the country has “punted on for a very long time” amid the nation’s heated debate over federal enforcement.While he has publicly condemned the Trump administration’s immigration policies as a “cruel and reckless political agenda,” he told CBS News senior correspondent Norah O’Donnell that former President Joe Biden “did not have this right.””We needed to do more. That, I don’t think anyone can argue that we had the system worked out under President Biden – that immigration was worked out,” he said during a town hall, airing Sunday at 8…

In the world of big food, artificial intelligence is nothing new.McCormick, which owns brands including Frank’s RedHot, Cholula and Old Bay, has been using AI in flavor development for nearly a decade, with the company saying its development timelines have been cut by 20% to 25%, on average, by identifying promising flavor combinations and narrowing down which ideas are worth testing in physical prototypes.

Progress around key crypto legislations in the US remains stuck in limbo, effectively capping price action as institutional capital remains on the sidelines.After a year of blistering gains that saw Bitcoin soar from under $70,000 to an all-time high of $126,000 in October, the flagship crypto has crashed to multi-month lows.Bitcoin’s rally last year was primarily fueled by President Trump’s return to office and a renewed political mandate to make the United States “the crypto capital of the world.”Subsequently, a string of pro-industry appointments and legislative efforts, including the GENIUS Act for stablecoins, initially buoyed sentiment. But market euphoria has…

Eight hundred episodes, 37 seasons, and one four-fingered family that refuses to age.As The Simpsons hits a milestone few series have ever glimpsed this weekend, the architects behind Springfield are reflecting on the choices that turned crude 1987 shorts from The Tracey Ullman Show into a cultural juggernaut.”We’ve done 800 episodes, and I’m really glad we didn’t do a big overarching story,” said Al Jean, executive producer and former showrunner.”You always return to square one at the end of the show.

Within hours of the expiration last week of the final arms control treaty between Moscow and Washington, the State Department sent its top arms diplomat, Thomas G. DiNanno, to Geneva to lay out Washington’s vision for the future. His public address envisioned a future filled with waves of nuclear arms buildups and test detonations.

In particular, deep in the speech, he describes a U.S. rationale for going its own way on the global ban on nuclear test detonations, which had…
